I'm a fairly well geared 70 and I use it all the time when I'm farming. I send the pet to the target and start the Aimed Shot right after. During the cast time, the pet has time to get to the target and get a growl off. I'll pull aggro once in a while, but I can use other abilities to slow the mob and usually kill it before it reaches melee range (Yay, decreased dead zone) or just kite it.
This same basic tactic is applicable at really any level once you get aimed shot.
When I farm I don't used aimed shot, to allow my pet some time I use this method. As soon as you kill Mob A, send your pet to attack Mob B. Meanwhile you go run over and loot Mob A. Once looting is completed, begin your normal attack on Mob B.
You get the same effect as you have with using Aimed when you send your pet, the only difference is you don't have that fraction of a second of downtime for your pet while you are looting. In one fight you don't notice it, but with a few hours of farming(especially when you find that spot where there are just the right number of mobs and they spawn in the exact time you need) you get into this rhythm that goes non-stop attack > mob dies >pet attack next mob > run and loot > attack > mob dies > pet attack next mob...
